[WDS] Image from a Virtual Machine

[jonatkinson]

Morning all,

I need to create a new Win7 image for some of my staff, but dont have any machines I can use as a master.

Can I setup a VM in Hyper-V with Win7, all my applications etc, Sysprep it and suck that up to WDS does anyone know?

Thanks,

Yes! thats the preferred way and best way to take images for wds!

Take a snapshop before you sysprep, so that way you can use the image later when you need to make changes to it.
